Residents are now working with engineers, architects, and volunteers to rebuild the neighborhood in a way that will reduce their vulnerability and ensure equitable development. The Caño Martín Peña Relief Fund was able to raise more than $55,000 for the residents of the communities. Money is being spent on buying construction materials and replacing furniture and and large appliances for those who have lost everything.
